I've always had pets in my life!
Pet care experience
Even in childhood, I've loved animals. I decided when I was very young that I wanted to make a career out of rescuing abused, disabled, and neglected animals who need help; I still think about this dream today, at 20 years old. For all my life, I've had a dog, cat, or critter to come home to. I'm willing and able to go on walks, though prefer not to walk too much on days above 90 degrees Fahrenheit or below 30. As far as I'm concerned, I'm willing and able to do anything your animal may need. I care about every animal companion, and will do my best to make their lives as enjoyable as possible. I would even be willing to try caring for an animal that may act somewhat aggressive, as long as they don't have a history of serious injuries, seeing as I'm not trained to defuse an attitude such as that yet. I am also, of course, willing to care for your home through small time chores as long as I am there.
Reviews
Carissa has loved dogs and has had a passion to rescue animals from neglectful conditions since she was very young. She loves all dogs as if they were people. She grew up with our miniature dachshund, Kiesha.

Safety, trust & environment
I generally prefer to petsit outside my home, since our pets aren't always awesome with new friends... but I'm always willing to come to your place, granted we (of course) meet beforehand so I can get a lay of the land and your pets can assess me. I will do my best to keep routines just the same (or even better) for your pet, as well as ensure that the house is NOT messed up. I will keep in touch with you with pictures and updates! (Unless you don't need that, of course!)
Information Carissa F. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences that I know of. In my life, I've had mostly small dogs, but I believe that I am more than capable of handling any size or shape. I have some experience administering medicine to a dog, as I've had to do so frequently before the end of our last dog's journey.. but obviously, I'd like if we talked about your dogs medical needs before I show up to care for them.
A typical day
I may consider... bringing toys, treats (according to animal's dietary restrictions), and possibly finding the nearest dog park to spend some time at. I might even crochet them a special toy or accessory by hand. ?
Services

Availability
I don't currently have any roles in my life that require me much. I am a doordasher, but I'm able to do that (more or less) whenever I choose. Otherwise, the only other things that may require me are appointments with friends and family, which, as we all know, can be unpredictable. That being said, I'm often saddled with a fair amount of free time that I can spend hanging with animals.
